SSHFS

The SSHFS project
allows mounting of remote directories over SSH. It can be used on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Install sshfs using your distribution's package manager,
or by downloading an executable from the project website.

Create a directory where you can mount your SEAS home directory:

mkdir ~/seas-home

Use this command to mount your directory:

sshfs bfranklin@eniac.seas.upenn.edu:/home1/b/bfranklin~/seas-home

Make sure to change bfranklin to your PennKey, and the
"b" in the /home1/b to the first letter of your PennKey.

You have root access to the machine you want to mount your SEAS directory on.

You don't have Samba running locally on the machine.

Assuming the above are true, use the commands below. If your username is "bfranklin":
